I think it is way to early to discuss the strength of regionals based on early rankings. Remember early ranking are sometimes grossly inaccurate!!!
I hope that every wrestler, at this time, has a goal that involves one of these:
WIN STATE (really should be everyone's goal, even if it is a stretch goal)
PLACE AT STATE
QUALIFY FOR STATE
The path to STATE is your assigned regional. You can be 0-0 or 0-20 when you go to regionals but still obtain one of those three goals. It is THE most important tournament of the season. Since we haven't wrestled yet the only data we have is last year's performance and this year's expectations. Lets generate some excitement by talking about what appears to be as it is way better than NO excitement at all. Use the rankings and expectations to motivate your wrestlers.
Good luck to all of the wrestlers this week and all season!
